Torak

Ask Michelle Anything

Michael writes…

Dear Michelle, I am now 29 years old, but I grew up with your amazing series about Torak. I was the same age as Torak when I was reading the book 2006. I noticed that your newest Torak books aren‘t translated into german, so I would like to offer to translate them for you for free. I really think that everybody who started reading Chronicles of Ancient Darkness should be able to finish it, not everybody can speak english though. So I would like to translate the last three books so everybody can enjoy them. Thank you very much in advance for your reply. Your sincerly Michael

Michelle Replies…

Dear Michael, I’m delighted that you enjoyed the first six books so much, and your offer is extremely generous – but I’m afraid it won’t be possible.  You see, the rights are owned by my publishers, and it’s up to them to arrange translation.  At the moment they’ve decided against publishing German editions of the last three books, so there’s nothing we can do.  But thank you very much for getting in touch.  With best wishes, Michelle
